Sellers: As we get through the details of your transaction, not only will I work to get the very best sales price, but I'll also push for lower closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying a home in Kennebec County, you will be given a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experiences and is required to be within a reasonable range so you're not stunned when you reach the closing table. I'll be happy to look over the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that are uncertain.
